Mental Health Art Week Mikkeli

Your Story is Important - Mikkeli

After a long korona break we get to meet with people again. Prison Outside and Free Translation held a #freetranslation workshop in Mikkeli. Persons who have experienced incarceration have generously shared stories and made artistic responses to the free translation works.

The artworks are live on the free translation site https://freetranslation.prisonspace.org/?id=
and will be part of an interactive art exhibition at Mikkeli Train Station 23.-29.5.22.

We are very greatuful to our partners:
